Kale Caesar
Kale Caesar
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried farro
- 2.5 cups of chicken broth (or water)
- 2 bunches of dino (lacinato) kale, stemmed and chopped
- 1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
- ½ cup shaved parmesan
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
For the Tahini Caesar Dressing
- Juice of 1 lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp tahini paste
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Black pepper (or to taste)
- ⅓-½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Cook the farro on the stovetop according to package instructions. I usually measure 1cup of dried farro to ⅖ cups of chicken broth and simmer until the liquid has just been absorbed. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
For the dressing: Blend all the dressing ingredients besides the olive oil in a food processor. Slowly stream in the olive oil until the sauce is smooth, emulsified, and resembles a caesar salad dressing consistency.
Toss the warm farro on the kale and mix together with toasted walnuts, cheese, and enough dressing to coat. Enjoy!
